I am very curious as to what the time control of the Suttercane vs Tyomkin game was. Grin

Could it have been played in the Master's challenge on WCN perhaps. Indeed was it played on the WCN server at all.

Regards

The Barry Attack (reversed)

This weekend i played an OTB game in this way:


1. Nf3 {What to do against the KIA? Let's go for a 150 attack reversed!} 1...d5 2. g3 Nc6
{Threatening e5.} 3. d4 {White avoids black intentions but he didn't know about Barry}
3...Bf5 4. Bg2 Nf6 5. O-O e6 6. b3
{Very slow play against the aggresive black setup.} 6...Be7 7. Nbd2 {The absence of pressure against black's center allows the "killer" attack.} 7...h5
8. Bb2 Ne4 9. c4 h4 10. Ne5 Nxe5 {This exchange helps black attack}
11. dxe5 hxg3 12. hxg3 Ng5 13. Rc1 Nh3+ 14. Bxh3 Bxh3
{Killing the best defender.} 15. Re1  15...Qd7 16. e4 {White adds more pressure against black center but..., it's too late.} 16...Bg5?  {Obviously 16...0-0-0 or 16...d5 was better.} 17. cxd5 exd5 18. Rc5 Be6 19. Nf3 Be7 20.
Rc1 O-O-O 21. Nd4 dxe4 22. Qc2 Bd5 23. e6 fxe6 24. Ne2 {from here all the fish has been sold.} 24...Bf6 {24...e3 wins inmediatly} 25. Bxf6 gxf6 26. Nf4 Qh7 27. Kf1 Qh1+ 0-1

What do you think about the "Black Barry"?

Thx

Paul Hopwood: "Hebden still has occassional outings with THE BARRY".

Paul, this is not correct! GM Hebden is playing THE BARRY each time his opponent allow to play the Barry Attack!

GM Hebden is having great success with THE BARRY.
Only in the critical system (9...Nfd7, 11...Be6) he is waiting for his first victory, after a row of draws!
He should give 13.Re1...a try, instead of 13.Qb3.
On the other hand: why not 10.Nc6...instead of 10.Nd5..

Greetings

I don't think SutterCane meant to imply that 4...d5 was my invention, but I just wanted to make it clear that it wasn't my idea.  I was just the person who brought up the possibility here.

Glenn Snow's 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d5

I was very surprised that a Grandmaster came up with this line in an internet game:

SutterCane vs GM Tyomkin (16 Feb 2004)

5.e5 Ne4 6.Ne4 de 7.Ng5 c5 8.Bb5 Bd7 9.Bc4 o-o 10.e6 fe 11.Be6 Kh8 12.Be3 Qe8 13.dc Bc6 14.Bd4 Nd7 15.Bd7 Qd7 16.Bg7 Kg7 17.Qd7 Bd7 18.o-o-o Bf5 19.Rhe1 rad8 20.Rd8 and BLACK resigned!

Dr Jan Itor: "Is this the end of the BARRY?"

Of course not! The game HEBDEN-ROWSON, Hastings 2004 is not a CRITICAL GAME.

Hebden played badly 12.o-o-o and lost.

The BARRY World is in the system 7.Ne5 cd 8.ed Nfd7 very fine!

Take a look at 3 games:

1. Juegel-Pitigala, WICC Dubai 2002 (17...Qc6)
...9.Nf3 Nf6 10.Qd2 Nc6 11.Ne5 Bf5 12.o-o Rc8 13.Rac1 Qa5 14.Bf3 Rfd8 15.a3 Qb6 16.Na4 Qb5 17.Nc6 "Qc6" 18.Nc5 Ne4 19.Be4 de 20.c3 e5 21.Bg5 Rd6 22.Bh6 b6 etc.

2. Juegel-Matisson, WICC Dubai 2002 (17...Rc6)
...17...Rc6 18.b3 Ne4 19.Qd1 Qa5 20.c3 b5 21.Be4 de 22.Nc5 Qa3 23.Qe2 Rc5 etc.

3. Hebden-Webb,Portsmouth 2004 (11...Be6)
...11.Ne5 Be6 12.Nc6 bc 13.o-o Nd7 14.Na4 a5 15.Rfe1 Qc8 16.Rac1 Qb7 17.c3 Rfc8 18.Bf3 c5 19.Nc5 Nc5 20.dc Rc5 etc.

THE BARRY is still alive!!!

In the Hebden-Nunn game Black did go back to f6 and Hebden eventually answered it with Qd2 (instead of Ne5 repeating).  Summerscale mentions 14...Nc6!? 15.0-0-0 in his notes to the game, is that what Black should try to improve?  For the record here is the game:
1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.Bf4 Bg7 5.e3 0-0 6.Be2 c5 7.Ne5 cxd4 8.exd4 Nfd7 9.Nf3 Nf6 10.Ne5 Nfd7 11.Nf3 Nf6 12.Qd2 Bg4 (11...Bf5!?) 13.Ne5 Bxe2 14.Qxe2 Nh5 15.Be3 Nc6 16.0-0-0 Rc8 17.f4 Nf6 18.g4 Qa5 19.a3 Nxe5? 20.fxe5 Rxc3 21.exf6 Rfc8 22.Kb1! Rxc2 23.Rd2 1-0.

The reason why Hebden deviated is because black jsut returns the Knight to f6 and white has nothing better than to take a draw.

In fairness The ...Nfd7! idea has been around for sometime and indeed seemed to lead to Hebden dropping The Barry full stop, although he still has occassional outings with it.

It would seem that now that black players deem the opening as worthy of preparation, that The Barry's time is up, although at club level, I imagine it will remain a good points-scoring weapon

Hebden beat Nunn with the retreat 9.Nf3 at Hastings 97/98.  The game is analysed in "a killer chess opening repertoire".  I'm not sure why he decided to deviate.

1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.Bf4. If Black doesn't know what he's doing then White can get a very crude but effective K-side attack going with moves like Be2, Ne5, & h4-h5.

1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7!? 4.e4 d5!?.  I checked out this line using a search of the big database in ChessBase 8.0 and came up with 6 recent wins for White (all rated at least 2300+; Hebden included here) and the only reply was 5.e5. I guess that tells us something.

Hebden's method is probably the way to go.  Note this variation is nearly the same as:  1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nc3 c6 4.Nf3 d5 5.h3 Nf6 6.e5 Ne4 7.Nxe4 dxe4 8.Ng5 c5.  The only difference being White has been able to play h3 here.  I looked this up in "The Ultimate Pirc" which actually liked Black's chances for equality, but its a tricky variation.  I don't know how much the ommission of h3 hurts (helps?).

Yeah, I think you have a point.  It seems that white's center is more difficult to maintain than I thought.  After 7.c4 Qd6 8. Be2, I plans with an early c5 will usually lead early simplification with equality.  Though, I think Black can play for more by keeping the tension with a plan based on ...Nc6 and ....Bg4 as in this game:

[Event "RLPF-op"]
[Site "Herxheim"]
[Date "1993.??.??"]
[Round "0"]
[White "Leuranguer,Yannick"]
[Black "Turner,Tassilo"]
[Result "1/2"]
[Eco "B02"]
1.e4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d5 3.exd5 Nxd5 4.d4 g6 5.Nf3 Bg7 6.Nxd5 Qxd5 7.c4 Qd6 8.Be2 0-0
9.0-0 Bg4 10.Be3 e6 11.Qb3 Nc6 12.Rad1 Rfd8 13.d5 exd5 14.Rxd5 Qb4 15.Qxb4 Nxb4 16.Rb5 Nc2
17.Bf4 b6 18.Bxc7 Rd7 19.Be5  1/2
(Note the position arrived from the Alekhine's Defense, so this may be of relevance to players of 2.Nc3.)

Isn't white trouble after 19...a6?  White made natural moves in this game and seemed to have no advantage.  It seemed to me like black had everything covered.  Another idea for black after 8.Be2 is the disruptive 8...Qb4+.  9.Kf1 and 9.Qd2 Nc6 look good for black.  Of course, the test is 9.Bd2 but after ...Qxb2 10. Rb1 Qa3 does white have enough compensation?

If found a couple of games of Hebden's against Stuart Conquest and Luke McShane (Perhaps not that surprising since McShane plays the Grunfeld and the positions of the above variation are similar).

Hebden's plan with 5.e4 Ne4 (otherwise it seems like black gets squashed) 6. Nxe4 dxe4 7. Ng5 looks convincing upon first impression:

[Event "BCF-ch 85th"]
[Site "Torquay"]
[Date "1998.08.??"]
[Round "9"]
[White "Hebden,Mark"]
[Black "Conquest,Stuart"]
[Result "1-0"]
[Eco "A48"]
1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d5 5.e5 Ne4 6.Nxe4 dxe4 7.Ng5 c5 8.e6 Bxe6
9.Nxe6 fxe6 10.dxc5 Qa5+ 11.c3 Nd7 12.Bd2 Qxc5 13.Qb3 0-0 14.Be3 Qf5 15.0-0-0 Nc5 16.Qb5 Rac8
17.Rd2 a6 18.Qb4 a5 19.Qb5 a4 20.Qb4 Rc7 21.Bb5 Nd3+ 22.Bxd3 exd3 23.Rhd1 Qd5 24.Qxa4 b5
25.Qb3 Qxg2 26.Qxe6+ Kh8 27.Rxd3 Qa8 28.Bd4 Bxd4 29.Rxd4 Ra7 30.Kb1 Kg7 31.Qe5+ Rf6 32.Rd7 Rxd7
33.Rxd7 Qh1+ 34.Kc2 Kh6 35.Qe3+ g5 36.Qh3+ Kg6 37.Qd3+ Rf5 38.Rxe7 Qf3 39.Re6+ Kh5 40.Qd6 Kg4
41.Kb3 Qxf2 42.Rh6 Rf7 43.h3+ Kf3 44.Qd5+ Kg3 45.Qxg5+ Kh2 46.Qe5+ Kg2 47.Qe4+ Kh2 48.Qc2 
1-0

[Event "Iona Tech Masters"]
[Site "Kilkenny"]
[Date "1998.11.27"]
[Round "3"]
[White "Hebden,Mark"]
[Black "McShane,Luke J"]
[Result "1-0"]
[Eco "A48"]
1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d5 5.e5 Ne4 6.Nxe4 dxe4 7.Ng5 c5 8.d5 Bxe5
9.Nxe4 0-0 10.c3 Nd7 11.Bh6 Re8 12.Bb5 e6 13.0-0 exd5 14.Qxd5 a6 15.Bc4 Qe7 16.Ng5 Bxh2+
17.Kxh2 Ne5 18.Rae1 Ng4+ 19.Kg1 Be6 20.Nxe6 Qh4 21.Bf4 b5 22.Bg3  1-0

Hebden is a good example to look to, since he is one of the leading exponents of the Barry Attack.
